Pimping Kindereggs

Have you ever wanted to make fancy chocolate eggs for easter like the ones you buy from chocolatiers.
I did, I love making chocolates, candy and different types og sweets. I have casted chocolates before and even given a course on how to do it. The reason I used Kindereggs is that I do not have any egg moulds and as I was grocery shopping and held a pack og Kindereggs in my hand I suddenly had an idea and thought why not. This activity is somting you also can do with your children, it can get a little messy and I manage to all by myself;)
 You need

Chocolate 
You can use different colored chocolate melts, I did`t have any so I used ordinary dark and white chocolate
Brushes
Pipingbags and tips
Kindereggs
Powdered food coloring
Rainbowdust.

 Melt the chocolates in a double boiler, important to remember that the chocolate should not be more than 104 F(40 C)
There are many ways to decorate the eggs, I just brushed randomly and some I piped.
Mixing the two chocolates gives a nice effect like the egg in the picture above. 
There are so many options to how you can do this and it is your imagination that stops you. 
As you can see I dusted som of the eggs to give them a nice shine.
Here are just some of the ones I made. Imagine if I had colored chocolate melts.
